Ride like a pro sessions hit Horizon Festival
After a week of parties, fresh powder and bluebird days you could have forgiven us for taking it easy on our last day of the Horizon Festival.
The last obstacle of the session was an old Land Rover with a ride on kicker, after a few run throughs and getting the correct speed Seb let the group loose on the final obstacle. Watching everyone ride the feature it was great to sit back and see how far the group had come in just two hours. The whole session had a great Spring feeling about it and as we all sipped out final beers thoughts turned to one thing, what can a pro rider really do!
With time running out we all asked Seb to give us a little demonstration of how to ride over the Land Rover everyone was in awe as he did multiple, jumps, spins, grabs and got some massive air over the vehicle. It was the perfect ending to the perfect session. With the air bag slowly blowing up at the bottom of the slope I left a few of the group to session this, while I decided to head up the top of the mountain where I spent the final afternoon riding before heading down the ski road with aching muscles and a few new tricks in my bag it had been a very successful end to a brilliant festival.
This was just one of the most memorable moments of the festival that had a week of them that we can’t wait to come back too next year!
Prices for the full week started from just £279 including a lift pass, accommodation and festival wristband. The ride like a Pro Sessions cost just £20 for two hours.
